Escape to a simpler life with Wendy and Richard

If you’re looking for traditional rustic comfort, you’ll find peace and sanctuary at the end of the no-through road that leads to Moor Farm in Gloucestershire for your next holiday – described by the Independent as the ideal digital detox in 2021. You’ll meet Richard and Wendy and the three generations of the Watts family and hear about their passion for regenerative agriculture and rare animal breeds, one of many reasons why their farm tour is an absolute must. Your tents are situated by the copse, where you will catch a glimpse of their cattle feeding on the Severn floodplain nearby. Moor Farm is an ideal spot for a family holiday in Gloucestershire.

Close by the Cotswolds and some of England’s loveliest towns

If you’re longing to explore outside the farm, the ancient city of Gloucester city is just five miles away, famous for its iconic cathedral and history that dates back to Roman times, whilst nearby Stroud, near Cirencester in the Cotswolds, was voted England’s Best Place to Live in 2021 in the Sunday Times. If the Cotswolds are your thing, the chances are that your drive home will take you past Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘Diddly Squat’ farm, as well as Bourton-on-the-Water, regularly voted one of England’s prettiest villages near the river Severn.

What to do at Moor Farm

During your holiday in Gloucestershire, you can book a slot to enjoy the indoor swimming pool as an extra when you arrive. If you want to stay in the pure outdoors then you can build dens or play hide and seek in the copse. As the dusk sets in you can spot wild deer whilst dinner is being prepared on the wood-burning stove with delicious ingredients from the farm’s honesty shop. Pizza night at Moor Farm in Gloucestershire is a treat with food that should be in a good food guide and homemade cider that you’ll not find in your local supermarket.

This was our third visit to Moor Farm, which is all you need to know about the place really! Richard and Wendy are excellent hosts which is really important to me as an adult travelling alone with children. My only problem this year was we only stayed for 3 nights instead of our usual 7 and it just wasn’t long enough! This is a fantastic chill out and slow down place.

This was our first experience using Feather Down and we absolutely loved it. Richard and Wendy were the perfect hosts and incredibly accommodating. Our son absolutely loved seeing the cows and goats and we had a lot of fun around the farm. I also highly recommend the pizza night + Richard's cider! Thanks for a lovely weekend.

My son and I had a wonderful weekend at Moor Farm. The beautiful weather really helped but the farm, the farmer, the pool, the woods, just the whole experience was fab. We will definitely come back again, I've already been telling family and friends to book a trip there.My only criticisms would be the cost per hour for using the swimming pool. We used it multiple times and that was quite expensive. Would have used it even more if didn't cost as much. And we were disappointed not to have the pizza night but the farmer did explain why this wasn't possible on our weekend.

Wonderful farm stay. We all learnt lots on the farm tours and there was something for everyone; lambs and calves being born for my daughter and son, indoor swimming for everyone and the most beautiful view for us all by the woods where we heard owls at night. We loved pizza night - it was delicious! The canal nearby was peaceful and we will try canoeing next time we come. This is our second time and we would not hesitate to stay again. Many thanks to the Watts for going above and beyond.

We couldn't have asked for more! Pizza evenings, ponies, croissants to your door, and plenty of woodland for the kids to make dens and friends in. We've stayed with Feather Down before, but Moor Farm was an exceptionally good half-term break!

Brilliant family get away. Richard and Wendy were the perfect hosts. Great for the children, they loved playing in the woods and taking the ponies for a walk! The pizza’s were better than pizza express 👍. Will definitely be back.

What a perfect way to get the family together, put down devices and experience life as it should be! The kids loved playing outside in the woods, building fires, roasting marshmallows of course & playing board games. Richard was wonderful, taking time out to show us around the farm & make us feel welcome. The pizza making evening was organized very well, tasted delicious coming from the pizza oven & a lovely social occasion for all the family to enjoy. The accommodation was a great way to experience camping at its best with young children, we had everything we needed.

A wonderful, welcoming place for our family get together. The tour was great and the pizzas and cider were delicious. All the cousins played happily in the wood and on the field with footballs and also enjoyed a swim in the pool. The tents were very comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. We hadn't been all together since 2019 and it was the perfect place to be able to relax and enjoy each other's company.

What a wonderful long weekend, kids and parents had the best time, switching off and enjoying the outdoors. The farm was amazing and the set up perfect for our 3 and 4 year old to be able to run around, enjoy the woods behind the tents and the farm tour was so enjoyable for us and also interactive for the kids who loved it. Pizza night also fab! So so happy we booked, and already excited about coming back again soon!

We really enjoyed every moment of our stay! Richard and Wendy welcomed us into their home and we felt very ‘at home’. We thought our first Fearherdown experience was lovely, but it wasn’t a patch on Richard and Wendy’s place. We had a lot of rain during our stay and it didn’t affect our experience in the slightest. Lots to see, talk about, and to just enjoy the wonderful location too. Featherdown are very fortunate to have Moor Farm on their listings. We’d love to stay again. Thank you to the family!

I absolutely love this place. Even the terrible British weather didn’t dampen our spirits too much. Richard and Wendy are excellent hosts and Richards farm tour is one of our favourite parts of the stay. The location is fantastic, whether you want to chill out on the farm or get out and about and see the local area. My favourite thing to do is sit out and watch the amazing sunsets while the kids play in the woods. We are hoping to return next year for a third year.

We feel privileged to stay on farmer Richard's land surrounded by beautiful countryside. They make you feel very welcomed and add to the whole experience. We got escorted to our tent on a buggy, home made amazing pizzas, a fascinating farm tour, an impressive tree swing behind tent, the swimming pool and petting the animals. These extras truly make the holiday special.

This was the 4th Feather Down location we’ve tried and as usual it was a lovely relaxing experience - with a particularly welcoming and helpful farmer and family :-) Beautiful countryside location - amazing sunset views from our tent. Great extras on offer - the swimming pool, farm tour, pony walking, morning croissant/bread/milk etc deliveries to the tent and a fantastic pizza (& homemade cider) night!
